All the ones who have a chance to make the final *should* drop if they want a chance to dance the final well. The ones who don't have a chance at a final, don't have to drop... If they don't care how they dance in the final (or aren't shrewd enough to think ahead), I suppose they will dance both.

If it's the same practice floor as last year, it's really NOT appropriate for standard/smooth especially with latin couples practicing in the middle of it. Plus, the floor is laid down in a very small room which was VERY hot.

Just so everyone knows, if you were planning on getting a VIP ticket to either of the evening sessions, they are now sold out for both nights of the 2009 MAC. However, there is still reserved seating left if you want to guarantee an up-close view of the dancing.

Do you know if VIP ticket holders are going to be assigned seats within the section (like last year), or if it is going to be open seating within the section (as it has been sometimes in the past)?

Trying to figure out the odds on CCP getting to sit in an optimal position for photos on Friday night. There is no way we can be there when the session starts at 3:30. (We are going to pull our 1st grader out of school right after lunch, but we still have a bit of a shlep from MD.)
